Hollywood 101: The Film Industry Paperback – 2 March 2000

I enjoyed it! I would get it for that aspiring Thespian in your family! Definitely!

Wonderful

A great and useful read, although very old. Helpful hints are things like invest in a mobile phone (they were new) and investigate the internet (it was new).

Unlike some of the reviewers of this book, unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to meet Mr. Levy but I would like to congratulate him on a book that is truly insightful and provided me with several days of wonderful reading.I don't want to sugarcoat this review but I have read so many books on the film industry and this book did not make me yawn one bit. This book was created for people who want to break into the industry. By no way is the author saying it's easy but the insight to certain industry professions and the professionals he had contribute to this book is remarkable.If you know someone who wants to break into the film industry, I know there are many books out there but purchase this book as a present for that individual. It's hip, informative and definitely not boring.Highly recommended!

I read this book in preparation for my move to LA. It is a perfect book for a film student who isn't sure what department/ career path they want. And also perfect for a newbie in the film industry to choose a career path. It's outlines the major departments in the industry, gives tips and ideas on how to get to what ever career path you want. I recommend this to any one new to the industry or interested in the industry.
